Carlito returned at the Men’s Royal Rumble match and marked his first appearance in over a decade.
Carlito spoke on the After the Bell podcast with Corey Graves, where he discussed his WWE career. Carlito was asked by Graves why he made a return to the company after such a long time.
Here is what he said:
“What brought me back… I just didn’t like the way things ended. I didn’t expect it to take 10 years to get back. I just wanted to, at least if I came back one time, I just wanted to leave a better taste, feel like… bury the hatchet or whatever. Just everything is on the up and up, you know, happy to be back, happy to be around, and if that was my last time, I was just glad to finally get a chance to come back and end on better terms.”
It is unknown whether Carlito will return as a full-time Superstar in WWE.
